California VS.. Flo rida.

The Boston Journal, in recent issue,
says: :,
"There is mourning among the land
lords of Florida. The winter crop of
tourists has failed and the hotels of the
interior are almost empty. This la
mentable state of affairs is attributed to
the diversion of winter travel to Califor-
nia."
The train. loads of visitors which are
daily arriving from the ice bound re-
gions east OF the Rocky mountains,
attest unmistakably their preference for
the sunny skies and balmy atmosphere
of California as compared with any point
on the Atlantic coast. The advan-
tages which the climate of California
presents, in sanitary point of view,
needed only to be known to attract
hither the vast concourse of health and
pleasure seekers which are now crowding
our hotels to their utmost capacity. Those
who have spent one winter in Califor-
MIA will not pass one out of it if they can
avoid it.. Florida has the advantage of
proximity to Eastern homes and conse.
quent cheapness of transportation, but
the superior advantages of California far
outweigh the drawbacks of distance and
expenses of travelling. Florida is sub
ject 10 cold waves, which sweep far
down the peninsula, causing sudden and
violent changes, exceedingly detrimental
to those suffering from lung complaints,
and physicians are accordingly recon-
mending their patients, who can bear
the fatigue and expense of the journey
to try The revivifying atmosphere OF
California. The present admirable ar
rangements for comfort and convenience
provide by the railroad companies, re-
duce fatigue to a minimum, and the ex-
pense, at excursion prices, is by no
means burdensome. The sudden trsnsi-
ton from Boreal gales, snow-mantled
hills and ice-fettered streams to green
fields and blooming flowers, fills the soul
of the Eastern visitor with delight, while
the odor of orange blossoms and the trees
laden with their golden fruit, convey tc
their gratified senses realization OF the
Paradise which has opened before them.

Our New Depot.

We inquired last week when our new
Southern Pacific depot was to be com.
menced, and before we finished mailing
the papers the carpenters were on the
ground. About twenty men are at work
and the building will be pushed to COM
pletion in the course Of three or four
weeks. We have examined the plane
and elevations, and can congratulate
Ontario on securing a very handsome
and commodious building. The waiting
room will be 24xl6, the Office lOxl7, and
there will be two smaller rooms on the
ground floor of the passenger depot, the
second story being finished as suite of
four living rooms for the agent. There
will be baggage.room just west of the
present freight depot l2xl4, the freight
house being 66x25. The elevations show
that the ornamental finish will be pleas.
ing in an unusual degree, and the build
ing will be an ornament to the town.
The general style of the building is the
same as the new one at Pomona, and we
suppose 1T will be in order for us to
claim it as the finest depot between Los
Angeles and Yuma, that claim having
been made already with reference to six
or seven others. .-[Ontario Record.

those places where competition exists.
Yet this is what the law.
makers hoped to accomplish, and
what the shipper of the interior
OF the country. The traffic between the
two seaboards for the last few years has
been largely diverted from the ocean to
the railroad by offering the merchant
low rates and rapid transit This is
what the shippers here and the carriers
want now under the provisions of the
new law, and both look for decision
accordingly from the Commissioners or
the Courts; until that Is reached there

ment. But we here will not be alone
in our trouble; the whole country, CON-
PEELED so suddenly to adapt itself to i'm.
practical methods for regulation, cannot
avoid the evils which are sure to follow;
and the sooner the Commissioners get
together and grant the exemption neces.
sary to relieve the carriers, the better it
will be for all.
1t is not true as charged by some that
the railroads are doing all in their pow.
er to make the law odious; on the con.
trary the roads are doing all in their
power to weave the web of their ideas |
lpto the whole knotty fabric in such o |
manner as to make the final product
harmonious and without law.
There are other fallacious ideas EN-.
bodied in the law in its attempt to regu.
late carriers under the pretense of regu.
lating commerce, from which confusion
and demoralization must come; yet the
principal thing necessary for us over
here is a satisfactory disposition of the
question above particularly referred to.

Impure wines.

Not long since Mr.. jacob Schram
made tour of observat lion through Mis-
souri,, Ohio and New York and other
eastern cities, in connection with the
manufacture and sale of wines. In
Missouri he found q man who annually
makes from the grapes of small vine.
yard $50, 300 gallons of what he sells for
wine. In Ohio he came across man
rolling in wealth accumulated from the
manufacture and sale of the worst
'slush" ever sold under the name of
wine. The Ohio stuff is sold in New
York at very low figures. He visited
many wholesale wine and liquor houses
in St. Louis, New York and other East
ern cities and found very little pure
California wine. Real pure California
wine in bottles labeled as sueh could
not he had. 1t was invariably under a
foreign label. Most of the wine sold
under the foreign labels came from CAL
ifornia and gave entire satisfaction to
customers who pay high prices for it.
Men who sold these false labels admitted
that they were doing it, and they said
they could not afford not to do it.-[St.

DrOuth i'm Texas.

GALVESTON, April 3.-There are indi-
cations of the prevalence of serious
drouth throughout the state, affecting
in a large measure its agricultural -
we'll as its livestock interests. The
drouth may be said to be the
continuation Of last years dry
spell, as no general rains have
fallen through the interior since last
September, while local showers have
been few and inadequate during the
past six months. The drouth now
extends over the great cotton belt,
ieopardzing the outlook for the coming
crop by retarding and preventing plant
ing which is usually in full pro-
press at this season. but can
scarcely be said to have COM
menced Except in the coast counties)
owing to the extreme dryness of the
earth. Along the coast cotton is up
and reports from several points speak Of
some damage by frost the past few
nights.

Railroad Inn prove men ts.

The first railroad train ever lighted by
electricity in the United States left Bos.
ton for New York yesterday. The gen.
eral adoption of this method of illum.
ination would dispose of one of the
twin nightmares Of travel. It would
suppress the car lamp. and with steam
heating to abolish the car stove, the
practice of wholesale cremation in wrecks
would be discontinued.
1t is certainly time that the methods
of heating and lighting cars should be
improved. With the marvellous devel.
cpment in all the other branches of rail.
road work, these departments have re-
mained in primitive crudity. Formerly
it was the custom to intensity the gloom
of night on the rail by exaggerated
candles, thrust up into glass globes.
These have been generally super.
seeded by oil lamps, but the change can.
not be considered an improvement. The
slight gain in the power of distinguish.
ing surrounding objects is counterbal.
anced by the danger of what the head
liner would, for once, be nearly right in
calling holocaust" And, after all, it
is of small Importance whether car is
more or less dark. so long as it
is not light. Reading, either with
the candles or lamps. is out Of
the question to one who considers his
eyes of any value. The few cars which
are really we'll lighted, such as those of
the New York elevated railroads, and
some finely equipped sleepers, serve only
to emphasize the general obscurity.
The introduction of electricity would
carry travellers at one bound from dark.
ness and danger to light and safety.
The abolition of the car stove, OF
course. even more important than that
of the car lamp. In an accident, a con.
fagration from lamps is only posi-.
bility, but from stoves is practically
certainty. Any shock powerful enough
to smash the cars, is powerful enough to
scatter burning Goals through the wreck.
The recent succession of horrible disast.
ers in the east has forced this subject into
notice. and the experiments with safe
methods of heating make it clear that
the stove will soon have to 60. When
the twin improvements are generally
adopted, winter travelling will become
popular. Life in a cheerful car, COM
fortably warmed by steam and brightly
illuminated by the soft radiance of the
incandescent electric light, will be en-.
durable even in snow blockade.-S. F.

THE sCYTHlA.
she is a Long way from Betng
wrecked.

BosToN, April 3.-The steamer Soy
thia arrived at her dock safely soon af-
ter S O'Clock tonight. The startling
rumors of disaster> on the coast OF
Scituate to the Cupard steamer Scythia,
in circulation, which caused tremen'
dous CONSERVATION in this city last
night have been proven false. Owing to
to the fact that the telegraphic com.
munication with the south shore had
been interrupted by a storm, it was i'm.
possible last night to either confirm the
rumor or to disprove it. Circumstances
were so peculiarly favorable to the belief
in the truth of the report, however,
that Agent Martin, of the Cunard Com
pany, rather than endure such natural
suspense, determined to charter a train
and 90 at. once to the locality of the
alleged wreck. The train left
Old Colony station at 4:l5 A. M,
with Mr.. Martin and thirty reporter,
on board and arrived at Scituate at 4:l6
Tnen the party tramped through three
miles of snow drifts to the breach where,
the sun having risen, . clear view of a
long stretch Of the coast was obtained.
There was no sign of wreck in any
direction The sea was tremendously
high, waves breaking over the tops of
the cliffs fifty feet high. Having been
convinced Of the falsity OF the
rumor concerning the Scythis. the
party returned at once to Boston.
How the rumor originated is not known
but there is no doubt it was generally
believed to be true last night. The
Scythia was expected to arrive yester-
day and the fact in connection with the
horrible gale that had been prevailing
on the coast for 4S hours caused wide
spread feeling of apprehension.

and supposed to have been concerned in

John was captured and William killed
by officers who were in pursuit. They
were overtaken east of the Rio Grande,
near this place, and when called upon to
surrender opened fire upon the pursuing
party. The fire was returned, which re-.
suited in William being shot through the
heart. Besides the train wrecking the
Browns are wanted for the killing Of
